New senior community comes to Bonita Springs
Dr. John Carnevali admits his wife, Carolyn, wanted to make the move to a senior living community many years ago. But he resisted. Now, he realizes that having a maintenance-free and secure future is what the couple needs. And he believes they’ve found what they were looking for at The Terraces at Bonita Springs, whose information center is located off S. Tamiami Trail on Bay Landing Drive.
The Terraces, the area’s newest planned gated senior living community, is sponsored by SantaFe Senior Living, a sister company of AvMed Health Plans, one of Florida’s largest and oldest health plans serving Floridians since 1973. The Terraces is a unique community which will feature maintenance-free, independent living in 150 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes with private terraces and open kitchens.
As a Lifecare community, The Terraces will provide older adults the opportunity to have their lifestyle needs met now and as their lives change.
“The Terraces will offer the best of both worlds – an exciting new lifestyle and the assurance of financial and personal security,” said Troy Hart, president of SantaFe Senior Living. “What we hear from area seniors is that they want to continue enjoying their dynamic lifestyles. They want options and choices that assure that lifestyle and security into the future. And they are choosing The Terraces because that’s the assurance we can provide.”
Part of the assurance The Terraces will provide is lifetime access to on-site health care, including 48 assisted living, 40 skilled nursing and 18 dedicated memory support care residences, provided by professional staff. And if a member’s care needs change, they will continue to pay essentially the same fee for any level of care they require. The Terraces is also currently offering a 100 percent refundable entrance fee and a number of other benefits for Star Club Members who reserve an apartment.
These benefits give the retiree and their family the ability to keep more of their assets and protect their estate from unknown health care costs. And members’ sound planning means that their children will never have to uproot their lives to provide care for them.
“I’m happy to know that our money will be returned to us if ever we leave the community. We also wanted the knowledge that if something did happen to one of us, we would have a plan in place,” said Dr. Carnevali. “And I personally wanted the assurance that if anything happened to me, my wife would be secure and continue to have lifetime access to on-site care and enjoy all the amenities The Terraces has to offer.”
Future members, such as the Carnevalis, will enjoy The Terraces’ lifestyle which will include exceptional amenities such as white linen dining, a bistro, a sky lounge with rooftop views, a performance center auditorium, a creative arts studio, spa and a state-of-the-art fitness center with fitness instruction, group fitness classes, wellness programs, and indoor and outdoor pools.
“Our members will have convenient access to a wonderful array of opportunities that will enhance their dynamic lives, health and well-being,” said Hart. “Our location also allows members to easily enjoy all Bonita Springs has to offer, including countless shopping, dining and entertainment venues. The Terraces will create a wonderful atmosphere where members can engage and interact with others in beautiful surroundings.”
“We’re looking forward to continuing to enjoy our active lifestyles. All our friends live in the area, and we’re members of the Bonita Bay Club. So this will be very convenient for us,” said Dr. Carnevali.
